How to make donations:

MOBILE MEALS Adopt-a-Senior

In Mobile Meals Adopt-a-Senior Program, you can provide hot, nutritious lunches for a frail, homebound senior citizen in your community for one month, one year or more. Just $65 provides Mobile Meals (Mon. – Fri.) for one senior citizen in Knoxville or Knox County for the entire month. When you give $780, you provide Mobile Meals for a year! One hundred percent of every dollar goes directly to providing meals for Knox County seniors. And providing those nutritious meals for an elderly person is a perfect project for your business, church, civic group, or family. Mobile Meals delivers meals to people age 60 and older who are too frail or sick to prepare their own meals and who have no other way to get a hot, well-balanced meal a day. It costs just 3.00 a day, that’s $65 a month, or $780.00 a year to help seniors in need in our area.

Mobile Meals

Our Mobile Meal recipients enjoy receiving items that are made by children. Children and youth groups can make items such as cards, refrigerator magnets, placemats, and holiday items. We suggest that you make these in multiples of 10. Groups also have the opportunity to personally deliver their items. Many of our recipients enjoy visitors. If you can help, please contact Paige Buchholz at 524-2786 or email paige.buchholz@knoxcac.org.
